Today we are reading Romans 1. In this chapter we hear God’s clear condemnation of all evil and wickedness of mankind. “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.” Romans 1:18-25 ESV Notice the similarities with what we see today in our society. What specific social issues do you see today that are clearly condemned by God’s word? How can you guard your thoughts and ways? How can you speak truth into the lives of those around you? May God bless you as you stand for and proclaim the truth! Pastor Tim
